Anwar ready to cooperate with all parties

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has given assurance that he is ready to work with all parties, including the opposition-led states.

He said the matter was translated through his visit to Kelantan, the first state he visited since becoming the prime minister.

“I have mentioned before that my duty as prime minister is to govern and manage the country in the best possible way.

“The people have made their choice during the election. My responsibility now, after being entrusted, is to manage (the country) well, regardless of which state.

“My focus in Kelantan is to address the flood issue,” Anwar told a press conference after visiting flood victims at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tengku Panglima Raja in Pasir Mas, Kelantan, yesterday.

Also present were Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Sabah, Sarawak and Special Functions) Armizan Mohd Ali and Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob.

Elaborating, Anwar said he was open to discussion with Ahmad on development issues in Kelantan.

“I’m giving my assurance that it will not only be for today but also in the future. I welcome him (Ahmad) to my office to discuss the direction of the state for the interests of the people and development,” he said.
